[Magdalen] prophecy/prophesy

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

If the text has it in one way, it would be incorrect to change it in any
case. The lector is just supposed to read, as clearly as possible, what's
there, right?

I like the Hebrew actual names, find them more full of life than their
substitutions, and I don't think it was correct or useful to make the
substitutions to begin with; however, varying from the text in a church
service setting will almost certainly distract from the reading itself --
not a good thing.
